Talk about hate.

Why is it ok to bash Jews and no one cares. But if you bash Muslims it's a hate crime and CAIR is suing you.

 

Ohio professor keeps job despite spewing anti-Semitic hate on social media | Fox News

Sadly, this is how things are today. SMH.

And to think that Oberlin College was once a leader in social justice and social reform. It was the first college to enroll black students. It was the first college to be co-educational. Its President was an outspoken proponent of the abolitionist movement. It was an important stop in the underground railroad. With such Presidents as Asa Mahan and Charles Finney, Oberlin was instrumental in the Second Great Awakening which led to many social reforms as these men championed abolition, women's rights, and yes, temperance. They were catalyst to much that we hold dear today as just causes. This faculty member is not in line with the principles of the founding of Oberlin College, the principles that made it great. She should be fired for that reason.

 

Oberlin was involved in an interesting case involving the Fugitive Slave Law. To prevent the return of an escaped slave, several Oberlinites created a scene and helped the slave escape again. This led to their arrest for interfering on behalf of a fugitive slave. In order to protect those who had been arrested, the Oberlinites arrested the slave catchers on kidnapping charges and held them so they couldn't testify against the Oberlinites. Charges were dropped in both cases and everyone went home--except the escaped slave who went on his way on the underground railroad to freedom.

 

Here's a brief description on a black history web site. Longer accounts play out the drama a little more fully. It's a good story: Oberlin-Wellington Rescue.

BTW, I am not an alum of Oberlin, nor have I ever worked there or had family that worked there.

Question:

 

So what is the difference between her kooky theories of Israeli involvement in terror attacks, and the kooky theories by others that blame the American Government for 9/11, Sandy Hook, et al?

 

For the record, I would never hire someone like that as an educator but her teaching field is in rhetoric and she seems to be very deep in that field. :thumb::walk:

My point is students can be kicked out of college for racial remarks and she cant?

At Mizzu a guy drives by and yells the N word, leads to protest and Pres being forced out.

Student on bus sings song and says N word, kicked out and shamed on media.

This professor isnt?????

Fair point. Just wonder if the reverse is true. If there is a kooky Prof out there that is so Anti-Government/Conspiracy protagonist that he/she still keeps their job.

 

I sometimes see anti-Semitism in things as apparent but sometimes what one calls anti-Semitism is really just honest critique of Israel and some of the things their government has done.

Oberlin is one of the most liberal schools in America. I've been there twice and was told about the co-ed rooms they have available in dorms and the "clothing optional" dorm. Unbelievable stuff.

All depends on perspective, IMO.

 

Bernie Sanders would say they are outstanding.

Ted Cruz would say its outrageous.

InItToWinIt would say they are not in the realm of things he's concerned about. :thumb:

Interesting approaches to the two professors.

Neither one should lose her job if we're actually serious about academic freedom. I doubt we are, but colleges are losing their dang minds.

 

That said, that woman at KU was profoundly stupid to let that word fly, no matter the context.

Yes, unfortunately they have fallen far from their beginnings as have many of our long-standing colleges and universities.

And you don't? It might be a problem when they apply for a job later on. If this info is available for everyone looking a your resume.

And we wonder why students graduate with a degree they can't get a job with and $ 60,000 in student loans.
